Hi,

the source of the problem seems to be from that command:

---
+ modprobe -v /dev/ttySHSF
install /sbin/modprobe hsfpcibasic2; /sbin/modprobe hsfmc97ich; 
/sbin/modprobe hsfmc97via; /sbin/modprobe hsfmc97ali; /sbin/modprobe 
hsfmc97ati; /sbin/modpr
obe hsfmc97sis; [ -e /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/hsfusbcd2.ko ] && 
/sbin/modprobe hsfusbcd2; /sbin/modprobe snd_hda_intel; /bin/true
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/extra/hsfsoar.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/extra/hsfosspec.ko dcpmajor=243 
diagmajor=244
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/extra/hsfengine.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/extra/hsfserial.ko serialmajor=240
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/extra/hsfpcibasic2.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/extra/hsfmc97ich.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/extra/hsfmc97via.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/extra/hsfmc97ali.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/extra/hsfmc97ati.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/extra/hsfmc97sis.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/extra/hsfusbcd2.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
---

It seems that the original snd-hda-codec and snd-hda-intel modules (in 
the /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/kernel/sound/pci/hda/ directory) are 
loaded instead of the replacements provided by the HSF modem driver (in 
the /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/extra/ directory).

Normally, the hsfconfig script should disable the modules in the 
/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/kernel/sound/pci/hda directory so the 
expected modules are loaded. For an unknown reason, it didn't work on 
your system. Please try to run the following commands in a root shell, 
this will probably fix the problem:

---
cd /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/kernel/sound/pci/hda/
mv snd-hda-codec.ko snd-hda-codec.ko.REPLACED
mv snd-hda-intel.ko snd-hda-intel.ko.REPLACED
hsfstop
depmod
hsfconfig -i
---

It is also possible that you will have to reboot your machine after 
these steps if the snd-hda-codec and snd-hda-intel modules can't be 
removed from the kernel for some reason.
